Sonakshi Sinha Shuts Down mukesh khanna Over Ramayana Remark: 'Distasteful Statements...'
Sonakshi Sinha has issued a lengthy statement criticizing mukesh khanna for blaming her father, shatrughan sinha, for her inability to answer a Ramayana-related question.
Sonakshi Sinha has issued a lengthy statement criticizing mukesh khanna for blaming her father, shatrughan sinha, for her inability to answer a Ramayana-related question. The incident occurred in 2019 when Sonakshi appeared on Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) 11, where she was asked for whom Hanuman brought Sanjeevani booti in the Ramayana but could not answer correctly.
In a recent interview with siddharth Kannan, mukesh khanna held shatrughan sinha responsible, stating that he failed to teach Sonakshi about the Ramayana.
Sonakshi warns mukesh against speaking about her father
Responding to Mukesh's remarks, Sonakshi took to her instagram Stories, urging him to “stop bringing up the same incident time and again to be back in the news at the expense of me and my family.” She wrote, "Dear Sir, mukesh khanna ji... I recently read a statement you made saying that it's my father's fault I did not answer a question about the Ramayana correctly on a show I attended many, many years back. Firstly let me remind you there were two women on the hot seat that day who did not know the answer to the same question, but you choose to keep taking my name, and only my name, for reasons which are quite obvious."
Sonakshi explains why she couldn’t answer the question
Sonakshi clarified that she "blanked out" during the episode and urged mukesh to move on. She continued, "Yes, I may have blanked out that day, a human tendency, and forgotten who the Sanjeevani booti was brought for, but clearly, you have also forgotten some of the lessons of forgive and forget taught by Lord ram himself... if Lord ram can forgive Manthara if he can forgive Kaikeyi... if he can even forgive Ravan after the great battle was done, surely you can let go of this extremely small thing in comparison... not that I need your forgiveness. But yes, I need you to forget and stop bringing up the same incident time and again to be back in the news at the expense of me and my family."
Sonakshi calls Mukesh's remark “distasteful”
Sonakshi further warned mukesh against questioning the values instilled in her by her father. She concluded, "And lastly, the next time you decide to say anything about the values my father has instilled in me... please remember it's because of those values that I have only said what I said, very respectfully, after you decided to make some distasteful statements about my upbringing. I wish you well, thanks and regards, Sonakshi Sinha."
What mukesh khanna said
During his interview with siddharth Kannan, mukesh khanna emphasized the need for Shaktimaan to guide today's generation. Indirectly referencing Sonakshi, he remarked, “Luv Kush is the name of their bungalow. people got angry, 'She doesn't know'. I said it's not Sonakshi's fault; it's her father's fault. Why did you not tell your kids? Why did you let them be so modern?"
